Brother of All Brothers

Written 2002; Published 2004My first short story written in as a grade 8 English assignment. This was also my first publication thanks to the Tall Tales Press annual short story competition. I won honourable mention in the junior writer's category and the work was then published in an anthology, Tall Tales and Short Stories Vol, II.As far as I am aware the publishing company no longer exists and the anthology out of print.

Somehow I find it rather fitting that my first publication was arranged through a company in Calgary since that is where I live now and where the arranging of my first novel's publication took place.

It is with great pleasure that I inform you that your story, Brother of all Brothers, has won Junior Writer Honourable Mentions in the 2nd Annual Hidden Talents Short Story Contest. My sincere congratulations to you for your hard work and your great storytelling and writing skills. We received a vast number of fabulous stories so being chosen as a winner is a great accomplishment. Your prize of $10 will be mailed out shortly and your story will appear in our anthology entitled Tall Tales and Short Stories Vol II which is due to be released in September 2004. Once the books are completed, you will receive your free copy by mail and have the opportunity to purchase other copies at a wholesale price.
